Noddy’s On King

I’ve got long hair and I like it like that. Salons that take inches off without permission are a big no-​no in my book… and way too common in Sydney. Noddy’s is one of the few places I have been where the hairdressers do what you actually ask for…
I’ve been here quite a few times and have had a few different hairdressers — they’ve all been helpful and patient. I’m particularly grateful to one staff member who talked me down off the metaphoric ledge when I declared I wanted to turn my dark brown, undamaged hair blonde (I’d had a bad week…).
Coffee, tea and magazines are all plentiful… the shampoo and massage experience is great (mmmmm… heeeead massaaaaage…) and it’s a friendly, not-​so-​cool-​its-​intimidating place.
The price isn’t cheap but is far from unreasonable and, so far, noone has tried to push expensive and unwanted products down my throat (a pet hate at other salons).
So… on behalf of the «virgin» haired women out there (apparently my undyed/​untreated hair is a virgin), I recommend a trip to Noddy’s. Try somewhere else if you’re determined to go wild and make radical changes… but for a reliable, quality hair experience, this place is great.

I’ve tried a LOT of different hairdressers in Sydney, but once I found Noddy’s on King, I didn’t cheat on them. Not even once.
Each and every time I left Noddy’s I felt fabulous… and that’s what you want to feel like when you leave a hair salon. I know a lot of people who leave their hairdressers thinking it’ll be better when they get home and do it themselves, but to me the best you should feel is the moment you leave.
To be fair, it may help that they have a fairly extensive alcohol menu.
Only once in my years of visiting Noddy’s did I have an issue. The colour they put in my hair didn’t stick. In true Noddy’s form when I called to tell them, they apologised profusely, fit me in the very next weekend and not only fixed it, but gave me a bunch of free treatments to take home.
Definitely one to try.
